Grimes: Humanity is at the "end of art, human art"

Last week, indie pop singer-songwriter Grimes made an appearance on astrophysicist Sean Carroll's Mindscape podcast. During the segment, the pop singer, who studied neuroscience before pursuing her music career, opined that humanity is at the "end of art, human art" -- AI, in Grimes' mind, will soon master the arts and sciences, surpassing humans in the ability to produce superior works. Grimes' comments touched a nerve in the indie music community. In a since-deleted tweet, critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Zola Jesus called Grimes' comments the "voice of silicon fascist privilege," likely alluding to Grimes relationship with Elon Musk. Yesterday, a third voice weighed in on the debate -- Holly Herndon, an award-winning composer and electronic musician whose most recent album, PROTO, was made in collaboration with an AI.
